We spent way more than one Trillion...

Class solidarity of the top 10%. They own the media, they want the Republican agenda of tax cuts, deregulation and whatever else make them more individually wealthy.

It's bottom ~70% who can't seem to figure out what class solidarity is

Never underestimate the stupidity and mental gymnastics of conservatives

I can't speak to "emotional state", but the thottening is a real thing (I've spent weeks trying to stop having all these ass models from cluttering up my feed, it's impossible)

I'm convinced insta knows your a guy and will blast you with reels full of chicks no matter what you do.

Right - first option survive the storm, next option... Murder? Steal? Pillage? (I'm stretching what you said, but it was implied). This is the very possible future we all might be living in, so again to OP's point about spiting your nose/face. Basically I find the moves of Trump to be catastrophic and the potential of where it might lead us is... Horrific

I'll take a stab at it:

• Local businesses will suffer across the board, might lead to this poor fella maybe loosing his already shit job.

-There won't be another job for him to take (see first point).

-He makes shit money so he has nothing saved up.

-social nets and government help is being systematically wiped out.

-It's the streets now, and for many others like him. Where does this lead? Massive uptick in crime, and a lot of crime everywhere. Everyone is fucked - those who currently care and those who currently don't care.

It's not like he really does anything except golfs, eats McDonald's, possibly gropes or sexually assaults young girls (some habits are hard to break - grab them by the pussy right?). He doesn't read, doesn't think - he basically signs whatever heritage foundation and his rich friends put in front of him to sign.

My guy, everything has changed and yet nothing has changed. You are arguing specifics while I'm arguing bigger picture. I'm not saying your wrong or I'm wrong, I just think we have a different view and measuring with a different kind of ruler, and yet I don't think we are really in disagreement, this seems to be arguing over semantics of what videos were in ~95 (very low res and shit quality fyi) and how many people had access to those shit quality videos - I'm just saying they were always there

It's still the same bullshit - people looking at text on their terminals. Be it SMS, be it discord, etc. people looking at images, listening to music, etc. inb4 "durr durr no 4k res in 95", no shit

I really don't know what your crusade is with this topic, but I actually do have(and still use) the same computer I had in the late 90's - SGI Indigo2 Extreme I got when I bought Alias PowerAnimator. Me and you were absolutely not doing the same stuff with our systems

My guy, wtf were you doing in the 90's on a computer? of course we didn't have streaming or just stupid useless videos that litter YouTube now, but there were video files all over the place to download and watch. For whatever reason, people were making the time and effort to digitize videos. Mpeg codecs came out in the early 90's - I specifically remember efnet irc members posting urls to mpegs of Weird Japanese vomit porn. Amiga scene was strong too, (video toaster came out in 1990...). Not really sure why you even feel the need to doubt any of this

Oh brother the Grammar nerds are here, as if that really takes away from what I'm saying.

In the mid and late 90's people knew how to make videos, they didn't link a YouTube URL but did post links to where one could find a video online, and IRC has bots that did file transfers, as well as people would use public ftp's as file dumping grounds.

I was there from the start, you must of never BBS'd or IRC'd - shit was amazing in the early days.

I mean honestly nothing has really changed - we are still at our terminals looking at text. Only real innovation has been inline pics, videos and audio. 30+ years ago one had to click a link to see that stuff

Keep your filthy paws away from my boy George Lucas

Inb4 a lunch mobb forms for Billionaire George Lucas...

People used to laugh at me when I said America, as a leader and superpower, died when Trump won the first time. We have just been going forward due to inertia, but the bill will come due soon I fear

I would think in Utah plenty of teachers and firefighters voted R, but I would love to hear from someone who has better info than me. I worked with tons of union guys who were very proudly conservative and even hated the union they were in. The propaganda is strong in some...

You underestimate conservatives

Plot twist, it wasn't forgotten. The person who wants the EU destroyed the most is probably Putin.... Followed 2nd by huge corporations/monopolies.

What do you think they think when they see an AOL email
